[QUOTE="klein, post: 831100, member: 23950"] Yup, elite member, or isolated member ? Ireland was the latest country to join the metric system. They were forced to do it, to join the European Union, and adapted the Euro. Canada, as of 2012 (7 months from now), will have free trade with the EU. You can stay isolated, and try to sell your products at home, that no one can afford. If they are not of metric deminsion, no one wants them. Every automobile mechanic in the US needs 2 sets of tools.... one metric, for all the import cars, and one set of imperial tools. That's only 1 example, but every factory/manufacturing and service sector has extra costs, because of having 2 systems in place. Even UPS is effected, being the extra time it takes to convert kg's into pounds, or the center mechanic, that may need to work on a Metric Sprinter, or a P700. [/QUOTE]
